Where Fundamentals Become Confidence
Is your child aged 8 or over and just starting out in basketball? Or ready to build confidence and skills faster in a supportive, structured environment? Transition Sports Junior Academy is the perfect place to begin.
Our Junior Academy is designed specifically for beginner-level players aged 8+. Guided by Joey Wright and delivered by experienced coaches, the program focuses on teaching strong fundamentals while helping young athletes develop confidence, teamwork, and a love for the game.
Our coaching approach encourages learning through action - allowing players to try, make mistakes, and improve through fun, competitive activities. Sessions are designed to build key basketball skills while also reinforcing important life skills like resilience, focus, and self-belief.
Training takes place in a smaller, more supportive setting than our Saturday Academy and is tailored for athletes in the early stages of their basketball journey. This ensures every child gets the attention and guidance they need to feel comfortable, capable, and motivated.
Join us every Sunday for an engaging hour of basketball and personal development in a safe, positive, and state-of-the-art facility where young athletes can thrive.
Where young players begin their basketball journey.

“The best place in Adelaide to improve your basketball skills. The high quality coaches are amazing, they not only work on the physical side but also the mental side of the game. My son loves going to Transition Sports, he has gain so much confidence, since he has been going (only 14 months) he has moved up 2 Divisions, he has been made Captain, top scored and has just been present with the MVP trophy for his side this season. The results speak for themselves. Thank you very much, Transition Sports.”
